This company is established for the purpose of acquiring the business and connections of ex sting provincial Bank ing Establishments and of carrying on, generally, the opera tions of Country Banking on the Joint-Stock pri ciple. Treaties are now pending for the purchase of some private and joint-stock country establishments, which will form the basis of a large and flourishing bank ; and, for that purpose, full powers for the increase of capital have been taken in the Articles of Asso Litton. It is not proposed to do any banking business in London ; but in addition to acquiring the goodwill and business con nections of ex , sting banks, i is intended to open branches in provithial cities and towns where, owing to the increase of wealth and population, a satisfactory business can be esta blished. The recent amalgamation of two of the largest private 7 banks in London with joint. stock establishments, fo lowing other combinations of a similar nature, and the continuous advance in the price of banking shares generally, afford con clusive evidence of the advantages of the principle of joint stock association in banking business. If the system of banking carried on by public companies is admitted to be so advantageous in London, where the pri vate establishments are generally large and wealthy, it can not be a matter of doubt that the principle is still more ap • plicable to the country, where the resources and credit of private firms are much more limited. The increase, also, of trade in the country genera'ly has crea ed a demand for fur ther banking accommodation, while it is only in the metro polis that the requirements of the mercantile community have been adequately considered. The Shares of the three Banks in London constituted for Similar objects are now quoted as follows, viz. : Paid. Present Prices. The National Pr ov i nc i al £l2 .. £44 The London and C ounty The Provincial B an k c f I reland 25 .. E 3 In further illustration of the profitable character of the business of the forty-one Joint-stock Banks established dur ing the past three years, it will be found on inspection of the official list that, out of thAt number, the shares of alt but two are saleable at a considerable advance on their paid-up capital.

This Company PROSPECTUS. is establish e d t o carry out, on an impor tahernt scale, the manufactur e o f s t ee l under Bessemer's or ot steel shot patents, to co ns t ruct steel ordnance, manufacture and shell, draw steel wire, manufacture and erect steam engines, boilers, and all kinds of machinery and im plements tor mining, manufacturing, and agricultural pur poses, and to carry on the business of engineers and mill wrights, at Tavistock, in the county of Devon. The Directors have entered into an agreement for the purchase, on terms favourable for the Company, of the pre mises, machinery, plant, stock in trade, patent rights and goodwill of the business of Messrs. Gill and Company, Engineers and Iron-founders, of Tavistock, whose works have been successfully carried on for the last sixty years, and who have long since established a reputation for the excellence of their manufacture of steam engines and boilers, chains, hammered iron, edge tools, and every description of mining and other machinery. The property consists of about thirteen acres of land, held under a long lease from the Duke of Bedford, and comprises, besides the ground devoted to the works, a com fortable mansion with plantations and grounds, a house for the manager, and cottages and gardens for the workmen, all of which are let at remunerative rentals. There is also never -failing water-power, maintained at the cost of the Duke of Bedford, sufficient to carry on all the operations of the Company, and by means of which great economy and a proportionate increase of profit is secured. The property and business thus purchased include several valuable patent rights and contracts ; amongst others a very advantageous contract for the extensive manufacture of Crease's Pneumatic Tunnelling Engines, which are destined to effect a complete revolution in the scientific working of mines; also a licence on favourable terms to manufacture the Blakely guns, for which profitable contracts can be im mediately obtained. Other very important contracts, which the board consider will alone produce a good dividend to the shareholders, have been provisionally secured, and will be completed as soon as the Company is in a position to undertake them. The Directors only consider it necessary to allude to the large profits realised by the manufacture of steel (which at the present cost of its manufacture ultimately take the place of iron in most instances), and the remunerative business of manufacturing steel ordnance, shot, and shell, for foreign Governmenta, to satisfy the shareholders that handsome dividends will be realised. The premises are easily accessible by canal from Ply mouth Sound, and by railway f rom a ll other parts of the kingdom, and being situated in the midst of a prosperous and constantly increasing mining district, a large amount of business with mines can be ensured. The Company will take possession of the works on the 30th of April, 1864, and are to be entitled to the profits of Messrs. Gill and Co.'s business since the 30th of September, 1863. as well as the benefit of all contracts entered into since that date. No promotion money whatever will be paid. Of the first issue of 5,000 shares, nearly one-half have been subscribed for, and the remainder are now offered to the publi c. Copies of the Memorandum and Articlee of Association can be inspected at the offices of the Company, and of the Solicitors, 43, Chancery-lane, and 77, Gresham Rouse, Old Broad -street.

This Company is formed to carry out un , n a much enlarged scale the operations of two well. established and lucrative businesses, hith Tto tra ing as the Imperial Wine Company and the International Wine Company The object of these businesses has been, by means of their numerous connections amongst wine merchants, grocers, (to., ihroughout the country, to supply w i nes di rect f rom t h e tgrowers, ad to give t the consumer the immediate advan tage in price and quality which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer placed wit, in their reach by reducing the duties upon forei n wines and licenses for sale thereof. The entire business connections of these existing e'fab ments in full profitab e working order, have been most ad vantageously purchased ; and in p,oof of th^ bona fidenature of the undertaking, three-fourths of the whole purchase money for stock, fixtures, and goodwill, will be paid in shares of the new Company. The vendor. will continue to assist in its management, and the Directors have themselves sub s ribed for a large proporti. n of the first issue of shares. Directors' remuneration to be one-tenth of the net profits. One h gh y remunerative feature of this Company wi I con sist in the powers which h .ve been taken to employ surplus capital in advances upon wine and spirit warrants, &c. A copy of the Articles of Association may be seen at the offices of the Company, and Prospec , u. es, with Forms of Application for Shares obtained at the Broken, Solicitors, or Secretary. N.B.—The scope afforded for this Company may be illus trated by the simple fact that since the new vendors of win, s have been called into existence by the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's legislation, t e annual consumption has increased nearly two-fold upon ordinary wines, and three-fold upon cheap French wines--vide the Chancellor s last Budget.

The object of this Association is to promote and en courage the monetary, financial, and industrial undertakings of the kingdom of Italy. 2. Whilst the territorial and commercial development of Italy has been so great, and has lately bean so much en• larged under the influence of the constitutional system of government, and the recent liberal treaties of commerce, capital is imperatively required for the development of the vast material resources of the kingdom. There are few countries which present so extensive and profitable a field for the safe and remunerative employ ment of capital. 4. A very important operation will at once recommend itself to the attention of the directors, and one which will be within the province of the Association—the negotiation with the Italian Government for the proposed sale of the Crown lands. 5. The operations will embrace—the negotiation of Go vernment and municipal loans; advances upon all securities affording adequate guarantees, and financial accommodation to the concessionaries of, or other parties interested in rail way and other important public works. These works are frequently undertaken by local municipalities whose en gagements are guaranteed by the isssue of obligations or debentures, secured on their revenues. These securities have always sustained their value in the monetary markets. 6. At an evidence of the rapid advance which Italy has made in her trade and commerce, it is shown by the official reports that the declared value of the imports and exports of the kingdom now amounts to upwards of 80 millions sterling, being an increase of £20,000,000 beyond the value in 1858. 7. An association of this nature so much required, and being introduced upon a scale commensurate with the great resources of the Kingdom of Italy, will be most favourably received by the Government, as well as by the commercial community. wiB. Important relations have already been established th influential banking houses and capitalists in Italy, with a view to the immediate commencement of the busi ness of the Association. 9. The seat of Administration will be in London. 10. In the event of no allotment of shares being made, the deposit will be returned in full. SI uld a less number of shares be allotted than is applied for, the deposit will he made available towards the payment on allotment, and the balance (if any) returned to the applicant. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be obtained at the temporary offleed of the Company, from the solicitors, or the brokers. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The Eastern Exchange Bank (Limited), is formed to supply a want which has been long felt, and its value will be imm,2- diate y recomised. Although Liverpool enjoys an immense export and import trade, and is the port through which the valuable manufac tures f Lancashire and Yorkshire piss, it h4B not a single Bank connected w,th the Mediterranean, the East Indies, China, or Australia. The exports of British and Irish produce and manufactures to the above countries for the year 1863 amounted to about fbrty millions, from Liverpool, • whilst the produce rec e i ve d i n re t urn i n t o and 'oy far the greater p or ti on was s hi ppe d Liverpool wa P . . a total of of a va tie or upward s o f s i xty m i ll i ons, ma ki ng o ,;ie hundred millions sterling. WhilPA London has upwards of fifty Banks, w:th branches in dif.ierent countries, established for the purpose of a ffording every facility in Exchange transactions, there is no Bank of this description, with Ls head-quarters in Liverpo o l, con nected with the East. The nrofitable nature of Exchange business is we'l known, and the practice which has become so general of attaching Bills of Lading to Bills of Exchange renders this the safest description of Banking business. Some evidence of the safety and profitable character of the business is afforded by the present values of the undermen tioned Banks, whose chief sources of profits are in connection with Exchange operations, Paid up Present r Share.

Branch Banks will be formed, in the first instance, at Alexandria, Bombay, Calcutta, China, and Australia, and as the business develops, at other places. The Directors of the Eastern Exchange Bank will make arrangements for London business, constitutmg a first-eass London Banking Agency on mutually advantageous terms. The busine-s of the Bank will chiefly consist in negotiating* mercantile bills of exchange, granting drafts, in negotiating and Collecting bi Is payable at places wher e th e Bank has Branches or Agencies. It will issue circular notes and let ters of credit, will undertake the purchase and sale of secu rities, the receipt of dividends, and effect remittances between the several places, including London, at which its Agencies and Branches will be established. The Bank is founded under "The Companies Act, 142," whereby the respec(ive liability of each Shareholder is limited to the amount of his Shares. There will be no fee for promotion; the remuneration of the Directors will be fixed by the Shareholders at each annual meeting ; and the preliminary expenses will be con fin 'd to indispensable outlay. The Articles of Association lie at the Office of the Solicitors for inspection. Applications for Shares must be accompanied with a Banker's Receipt for £1 per Share. In case the amount so paid should exceed £3 per Share on the number of Shares allotted, the surplus will be returned ; but it it should fall short, the balance must be paid within seven days after notice of allotment, or in default, the allot ment will be cancelled and the deposit forfeited. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full. Applications for Shares may be sent through the Solicitors or Broker. of the Company, from whom Forms ofApplication may be had.

The rain, which fell copiously during the greater part of Monday evening, rendered the course splendid " going." There was a large Lflux of metropolitan and provincial visitors on Monday, and in the evening the Subscription room was well attended, but the betting on the Cup was limited. Lord Zetland was the only animal supported with spirit, he being backed at 13 to 1 for £250, whilst The Tippler was entrusted with a " pony" at 40 to 1 by his noble owner. In other respects the quotations received from Tattersall's underwent no change. Tuesday morning was showery till eight o'clock, and the atmosphere appeared threatening until noon, when the sun shone forth brilliantly, and a pleasant breeze blowing made the afternoon's sport very enjoyable. The feature of the morning's betting was the retrogression of Accident, who was disliked by the " horse -watchers" almost to a man. Continued offers of 7 to 1 failing to find customers, an advance of a point over these odds was ventured, upon which Accident had friends, and was firm at Bto 1. Muezzin was not in such good odour, but his stable companion, the Hersey filly, was supported at 11 to 2, Little Stag at 100 to 8, and Canary from 100 to 30 down to 20 to 1, This latter price was taken and offered each about Oldminster and Bacchus. The first race was fixed for 2.15, a ridiculously late hour, and which consequently lett us little or no time to make any comments on the racing, our parcel having to be despatched so early. Four came to the post for the Grosvenor Stakes, Tippler being made favourite at 7 to 4, and the Marquis of Hastings's horse won in a canter. Immediately after the race several of the bookmakers who had in the morning laid long prices against Tippler were so anxious to "get out" that prices ranging from 25 to Ito2o to 1 were taken. The Chesterfield Stakes was a rare turn-up for the fielders, as Capt. Gray's Windham—never once mentioned in the bet ting—bowled over the favourites in hollow style. Four only came to the post for the Mostyn Stakes, which was won easily by Nothing More. The remainder of the running we are unable to comment upon for the reason given above. The Grosvenor Stakes of 10 soya each, h ft, with 50 added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards; winners extra, and certain allowances. Grosvenor Course, about a mile and a quar ter. 10 subs. Marquis of Hastings's Tippler, 4 yrs, Bst 71b ....

(J, Maroon) 4 Betting-6 to 4 agst Tippler, 2to 1 agst Veterinarian, 5 to 2 agst Despair, 20 to 1 agst Stanton. After one " break away" Tippler, Despair, and Stanton came on two lengths in front of Veterinarian for a couple of hundred yards, when Tippler took a clear lead, followed by Stanton, Despair, and Veterinarian, at short intervals, until they arrived three-quarters of a mile from home, when Veterinarian became second and Despair last. A quarter of a mile from home Despair took second place, but could never reach Tippler, who had made all the running after the first 200 yards, and won easily by a length; three parts of a length separated the second and third, and two lengths divided the third and fourth. Before the race 40 to 1 was offered agst Tippler for the Chester Cup, but afterwards 1,000 to 40 having been eagerly accepted he was subsequently supported at 20 to 1.

PARIS SPRING MEETING, The running yesterday was favoured with glorious weather, and the company was more numerous than ever. The Imperial stand was occupied by the Empress, Prince Napoleon, the Princess Clotilda, and the Princess Mathilde. The field within the cords and the road between the bridges. of St, Cloud and Suresnes were crowded with vehicles, in cluding a number of handsome equipages, the Duke de Morny's splendid scarlet livery being conspicuous among the number. The Ponle d'Essai, which, as throwing some light on the probable result of the great events of the year, thus ranking as the Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket, was the chief event of the day. The Duke de Morny's Bayard, and Count de Lagrange's Fille de l'Air, who had just arrived from England, divided favour pretty equally, but both were very cleverly disposed of by Baron N. de Rothschild's Baronello. a remarkably handsome brown colt, who appeared yesterday in public for the first time. gratified M r Carter, the trainer of the winner, appeared highly at this result, and was warmly congratulated in the en closure. The other events were the Prix d'lena, .a condi tion of which race is that the horses French jockeys. This is fortunately the only event . of the arc to ay be la rid d d e e ta n e b a y . kind.

A couple of lengths behind were Bois- Rouissel, with Count de Lagrange's two, Baronello and Gemlreux ; Golgia, who had got badly off, being last of all. At the plantation Leuctres took first place, but on coming down the hill Fille de l'Air went past her horses and joined Bayard, the two on arriving at the corner being in front. For the moment the race appeared likely to end in a match between those two, for on nearing the stands Baronello was seen coming up outside, and Fille de l'Air here showing signs of distress Baron Rothschild's horse took her place along side of Bayard, and getting in front a short distance from the post landed a winner by half a length ; Fille de l'Air third, passing two lengths behind Bayard, with Bois-Rous sel fourth, and Glorious fifth.

By the Author of " St. Olave's."—A now novel, by the author of " St. Olave's," will be warmly welcomed by all the readers of that clever story. " Janita's Cross" is a still more charm ing work. It is characterised by fully as much power, pathos, and truth to nature as " St. Olive's ;" and the chief personages of the tale are even more remarkable for the rare excellence with which their individual characters aro developed. Their changing fortunes will be followed to the close with undiminished interest. Janita, herself, the fascinating heroine; the strong•minded old maid, Miss Hepzibath Ruthven ; the manly, energetic Gavin Rivers, and, his treacherous, worldly sister, Noelline; the faithful, honest-hearted Roy, and his coquettish sweetheart, Bessie Ashton, are portraits that will long live in the reader's memory. THE CONFEDERATE STATES.—The following is an extract from a letter by the wife of a General in the Con federate Service to her friend in Europe—" There are many little things in which our daily life is changed —many luxu ries cut off from the table which we have forgotten to miss. Our mode of procuring necessaries is very different and far more complicated. The condition of our currency has brought about many curious results—for instance, I have just procured leather for our negro shoes by exchanging tallow for it, of which we had a quantity from some fine beeves fattened and killed upon the place. I am now bargaining with a factory sp the country to ex change pork and lard with them for blocks of yarn to weave negr, o's clothes—and not only negre clothing I have woven, I am now dyeing thread to weave homespun for myself and daughters. lam ravelling up or having ravelled all the old scraps of fine worsteds and dark silks to spin thread for gloves for the General and self,.which gloves I am to knit. These home-knit gloves and these homespun dresses will look much neater and nicer than you would suppose. My now malt ing and I, being in want of under garments, I sent a quantity of lard to the Macon factory, and received is for a re turn fine unbleached calico—a pound of lard Ming make them new yard of cloth. They will not sell their cloth for money. This unbleached calico my daughters and sell are and 7 0 7 eans done of so liv a i l n re g ac a l n y : up for ourselves. You see some foresightis necessary t o provide for the necessaries of life. If I were to describe all the cutting and altering of old things to ta my relations in Savannah, which now perpetually goes on, I should far outatep the d b o u in t g I . limits of a letter—perhaps thought this sketch would amuse you) and gi ve you some idea of our Confederate ways and instead of the elegant At Christmas I sent presents trifles I used to give at that season I bestowed as follow's ,— several bushels of meal, peas, bacon, butter, lard, We , " t tsages, soup (home-made), rope, string, an d , a c oarse basket I a ll which articles I am , assured were most witrullY welcomed, and more acceptable than jewels and s ilks would have been. To all of these we are so familiarised that we laugh at these changes in our keepcad our ways of l if e , regrets for graver things. The photograPh ° of your children I was happy to see. You would have smiled to have heard my daughters divining the present fashion from the style of dress in the likenesses. you must know that amid all the woes of the Southern Confederacy, her women still feel their utter ignorance of the fashions .Whenever they have a new dress to make up or an old one to renovate. I imagine that when our inter course with the rest of mankind is revived we shall present a singular aspect ; but what we shall have lost in external apperance I trust we shall have gained in sublimer virtues and more important qualities." THE ASSAULT ON Da. ROWS.—On the case of James J. Brice and James Scott, who have reveral times been remanded on the charge of having violently as saultei Dr.W. F. Rowe, of Pembroke-Place, Liverpool, be ing called on at the Police court yesterday, Mr. Cobb, who appeared for tha prisoners, said as there would be a normal remand, he presumed there was no occasion to have his clients brought up. Mr Raffies—lt they wish to be brought up they can. Mr. Cobb—No, sir, they would rather not. Mr. Rafiles—Oh, very well. Mr. Stephens, from the office of Mr. Alfred S. Samuells, then put in the following certi ficate :—" 76, Pembroke-place, May 2, 1864. We hereby certify that Mr. Rowe is not yet able to attend the court. (Signed) THOMAS PENNINGToN, J. H. BARNES." Mr. Cobb said, in the absence of the learned counsel, Mr. Deighton. he had again to apply to the magistrate to admit t he prisoners to bail. Mr. Raffles intimated that he refused the application. The prisoners were then further remanded for seven days, when we understand the case will be fully mvestigated.—Daily Post, Second Vition. tz. 1
